Exhibitions For the 2010 Whitney Biennial, Vitale exhibited the video ''Patron''. Peter Schjeldahl oThe New Yorker wrote "The most prepossessing is an energetic performance by...Vitale, who...harangues 'patrons' with colorfully worded...insults and commands. The provoked notion of contemporary art as an arena of sadomasochism is just cogent enough to chill, a trifle." Vitale's ongoing sculptural series of Burned Bridges has been part of several solo gallery and museum exhibitions including ''What I Need to Do Is Lighten The Fuck Up About A Lot of Shit'' at Zach Feuer; ''Bright Dark Future'' at Le Confort Moderne; ''If You Expect To Rate as a Gentleman, Do Not Expectorate On the Floor'' at Unge Kunstneres Samfund; ''Lost Marbles'' at Le Marbrerie, Montreuil; and ''Huey, Dewey & Louie'' at Kunstraum Innsbruck.

Sculpture
Sculpture is the branch of the visual arts that operates in three dimensions. Sculpture is the three-dimensional art work which is physically presented in the dimensions of height, width and depth. It is one of the plastic arts. Durable sculptural processes originally used carving (the removal of material) and modelling (the addition of material, as clay), in stone, metal, ceramic art, ceramics, wood and other materials but, since Modernism, there has been an almost complete freedom of materials and process. A wide variety of materials may be worked by removal such as carving, assembled by welding or modelling, or Molding (process), moulded or Casting, cast.
